I have two cars, both need to be sold quickly. Here are the stats. 1991 Honda Accord 4DR LX 195,000 Miles, mostly highway. 5 Speed 4 Cyl (F22A1) Slight rust around rear wheels, and above windshield. New windshield (stupid kids threw crap out of a bus and hit me while driving) New tires Relativey new muffler. New interior sound, Pioneer CD and 4 pioneer speakers. The A/C doesn’t work. The steering is slightly unstable above 60 MPH 1995 Plymouth Grand Voyager 115,000 Miles 3.8L V6 4SPD Transmission Leather Seats Bucket seats Rear A/C Alloy Wheels Lots of paint chipping on the hood and roof Roof Rack Premium CD sound that has a quasi functioning display. BEAUTIFUL interior. For the Accord, I am hoping 2000, but I am probably smoking something. The Voyager, 3000. Probably smoking something as well. What would you pay for either of these, and what methods would you use to sell them? ---

Well, I looked at all 4 of those, as I have tried to sell before. The prices they quoted, i took, reduced by 10%, and ran online and posted on the net for two weeks. Not even a phone call. Anything else to consider? ---

I just bought a Nissan Maxima (89) for 1000 dollars, and the motor seems to be in excellent shape with only 129,000 miles. I would have been interested in your Accord, but I wouldn’t have paid more than around 1400 with the high mileage, no A/C and that shake. Still I’m surprised there were NO bites. Maybe you should try posting in your local paper or some bulletin boards around your neighborhood? ---

Yeah, I’ve done the newspaper and the bulletin boards too. I am wee bit frustrated. I am thinking I should bite the bullet and do a trade in, but I will get next to nothing, I am sure. ---
